Adopt A Book tops £700,000
The Library’s vital Conservation work has been boosted by gifts totalling more than £700,000, thanks to the generosity of thousands of Adopt A Book donors.
Head of Conservation, Cordelia Rogerson, believes that Adopt A Book has a considerable impact on the Library’s conservation work. She commented,
“Adopt A Book makes a great difference to us. We are able to employ a specialist, highly skilled Conservator to undertake delicate and detailed conservation on some of our most vulnerable collection items, ensuring that future generations of Readers will be able to benefit from them.
In addition, Adopt A Book donors are passionate about their chosen books! We love to hear why they have decided to adopt a particular book and we have heard some remarkable stories over the years."
Why not share your personal experience with other donors?
The Library's ethos, principles and ambitions strike a chord with me; the services on offer are the practical demonstration of what the place is about.

I have had a lifelong love of books and feel that the British Library is an inspiring place and well worthy of support, particularly at a time when funding for the arts in general appears to be under threat.
